Abstract

The offshore wind energy can provide strong power support to overcome the energy crisis, as well as good opportunity for international exchange and cooperation, an antidote to climate change and conventional energy shortage, and important support to achieve the carbon neutrality target. Evaluation of resources and planning should go first. However, such evaluations are still relatively few owing to the difficulties faced by marine observation and shortage of research resources, which has been a barrier to developing offshore wind power into a bigger scale as an industry. Firstly, this chapter discussed the research status and difficulties (detail research on the climatic characteristics of wind energy, macro and micro-scale energy classification, relationship between wind energy and key indexes, short-term forecast of wind energy, climatic variation of wind energy, mid-long term projection of wind energy, energy evaluation on key nodes). Then the countermeasures to deal with the difficulties are provided.
